OPPURE, SI MUOVE

A long time ago, and far, far away, in Rome, to be exact, I sat in Piazza Navona, at a table that wobbled. When the waiter reached down to steady the table with a piece of cardboard, it still moved. He looked at me. "Oppure, si muove", I said.
He laughed and asked me if I knew who said that.
"Galilleo", I said back.
He clapped me on the back and offered to buy me a coffee after dinner.
Here we are, the earth still moving around the sun and that table still moving in Rome.
500 years later, and the truth resonates to this day.
